DNS Caching?

[raz]

I've searched around the board and learned that DNSMasq is present and enabled on the 1.3.x revisions.

I was wondering, however, if that service was running a cache so as to respond to DNS queries.

If so, are the DNS caching settings configurable (TTL, number of entries, etc)?

Gargoyle runs dnsmasq with its default cache size of 150 entries.

Not through the GUI but if you edit the file /etc/init.d/dnsmasq you can look for the line

Code: Select all

append_parm "$cfg" cachesize "-c"

and change it as you like. Google man dnsmasq to learn about the -c option.

Pbix,

Thanks for the hint!

After some google'ing, it seems that the command to specify the cache size is "dnsmasq -c [cache size]".

I'm not sure, however, how to modify the dnamasq file you pointed to.
Can you give an example?

Thanks!

YES HOW DO YOU EDIT THISS!?!!?!!!!?!?

found append_parm "$cfg" cachesize "-c"

would it be:

Code: Select all

append_parm "$cfg" cachesize "-c, --cache-size=<1000>"

but do i delete the -c and replace it with a number or leve it and put somethign else
